Viewing single post of blog New Ferry Butterfly Park; Empty Shop Project

Had no time to blog I’m afraid.

In between project managing the Comma Project shop I have a real day job I have to do! As well as helping to organise the Arena Charity Art Auction for my studio.

Busy!

Gerald’s final week kept him very busy but still with not many passing visitors, more people coming in to ask about these bizarre solar ‘fluttering’ butterflies one of our volunteers brought in as decoration. We’ve been laughing about the irony that we’ve set up a contemporary art space to get people interested in the space and get notice more for a flutterby!

Anyway, Gerald has left the building, he went out with a finale and a half. Live tweeting his community poem ‘Deconstructing Wilfred’ as a performance piece as well as a screening of his video ‘An Anthology’.

Wine at a PV is the norm but unfortunately one of the local characters came just for the wine and ended up falling down drunk, very worryingly so. He was a lovely old chap, just known locally for his drinking, so very sad.

Luckily the community police passed by to help out and as he couldn’t remember where he lived, had to call an ambulance to take him to the local hospital to sleep it off.

And the moral of the story is…. tea and coffee will do from now on at PVs, maybe the odd glass of wine out of sight in the back.

Gerald as a true pro – live tweeted his poem throughout the whole experience :/
